    One of my best experiences in hostels in Thailand, the staff is super friendly, they will help u with all that u need. I’m usually afraid about the shared bathrooms but that one was super clean, everything was really clean. And they have a super cute cat walking around 😼😼. 100% recommended

    Best part of stay was the host Anna. Her suggestions for local places were excellent and also she arranged island tours at very reasonable rates. Hostel location is just perfect for old town stay. Rooms were good and bed were comfortable. Bathrooms were clean.

    Phuket was our first destination when we arrived in Thailand. We didn’t plan so much for this trip but heard from someone that Old Phuket would be a nice town so we searched for a hostel that’s affordable and has good reviews. That’s how we found Phuket Sunny Hostel 🙂 Check in was smooth & fast. Anna, the receptionist, was friendly & accommodating. She was very helpful when we have questions where to go & how to get there. And helped us in hiring a cab & motorbike. The hostel is close to the night markets, cafes, & restaurants. Walking distance to everything. It has this old cozy family house vibe with a clean shared bathrooms for women and another one for men. The rooms are not so big but a/c is good & has a big window overlooking old town street. Would definitely stay at this hostel again!

    Not sure about rooms, since I didn't stay there. But had some beers, chill people and good vibes. Located in Central old Phuket. Great location

    It’s ok, but could use some improvements. + the location is amazing if you want to stay in the old town area. + they respond super fast to messages and calls. + beds are comfy + AC in the room works great + fridge and free water - no curtains 😭 - the bathroom is soooooo hot, no AC. If you have a longer session there, you’ll sweat for sure. - no hairdryer in the bathroom - towel provided had stains

    This hostel is real 5 stras . Rooms are nice. There are rooms for 1, 2 or more. Of course the charming Anna at the reception is a key point , very helpful and kind. Also the cleaning lady. The place of the Sunny is near to every where. Congratulations 🎊

    Mixed feelings. The rooms are nice tho. The guest was as the same time super nice and a little bit rude so I was extremely confused (maybe because I didn't want to use the transportation she suggested me). Anyways great experience, I recommend

    Great hostel, really enjoyed it. Great price and really nice staff. Extended my stay just because of the hostel, the owner was always nice and accommodating.

    Very good hostel and the best hostel treatment I’ve had so far. I gave the rooms 4 stars because even though they are clean and all, it’s quite noisy sometimes you can hear the bikes. Some guests I’ve encountered were also pretty obnoxious, they walk the hallway like they are being chased and disturb our sleep constantly smh 🤦🏾‍♀️. The lady there is so nice, her English is great and she’s very helpful, she recommended us places to go, where to see fireworks for new years and so on. She’s so lovely I wish her all the best. You may encounter the cleaning lady first before the main owner, so don’t feel bad if you don’t get the treatment I wrote here from her. She’s not the lady I am referring to and she can be very quite and gives multiple side eyes as a bonus :) anyways I had fun and lots of food places nearby and also 7 minutes walk to the bus stop and 7/11 left and right hehe.

    Clean, ac worked perfectly, good location, cheap but the highlight is the amazing staff!❤️ front desk was so helpful and hospitable, even booking a last minute tour for us and giving us the best tips to enjoy our trip! The only notice I’ll give is that there is a bar under/next to the hostel so it can get a bit noisy (sounds of people talking, light music), but there’s no thumping walls or anything hahaha. I’m quite sensitive but I could fall asleep with earphones in.

    I have been to 5 hostels in Thailand and the truth is this was the best by far, the bathrooms were always clean and the lady who served us was always very friendly, she gave us tips every time we went out and we managed to save some money thanks to it, If you want to feel comfortable here is the place, thank you very much.

  • 5/5 Antoine Vander E. 9 months ago on Google
    Right next to the local night market, the location is perfect! Anna went above and beyond to make sure we had the best few days possible and gave us all the ins and outs of local info. Rooms were clean and facilities spotless. Thank you!

    Good location because it is in Phuket town but it is hard to find a place to park the car.

  • 5/5 N K. 5 months ago on Google
    I stay here for 3 nights and had a completely ultra cosy stay at an affordable price + super welcoming host Anna 😍 Pro: - Anna the owner SUPER AWESOME! - she speak good english! Very welcoming. She even offer me a lift to a night market. - Stay in a 6 bed dorm, dorm are spacious comes with personal locker. Just bring your own padlock. - The housekeeper Chu, she cant speak english but always smiling. - The kitten Shuwah super cute. I even took her to bed and Anna was alright with that. - The dorm I stay was so comfortable. The bed! I was so tired on the first day arrive due to lack of sleeping; thanks for the good bed and dorm with AC I slept and have a really good rest. - Shower & toilets are clean. - On the first floor where there are rooms, please take off shoes. Asian culture ☺️ - The hostel located close to a bus stop for Airport bus. - Close to Saturday & Sunday night market. - Asian vintage interior Cons: - For the price I paid, and the comfort of stay, I will not complaint. I highly recommend.

    No frills hostel but the owner speaks excellent English and helped save me money but referring me to go to Bus Terminal 2 instead of chartering a private bus in order to get to Khao Sok.

  • 2/5 Matěj B. 1 year ago on Google
    Well not bad at all but could be much much better. Especially after i take there a shower i didn't wanted experience it again, because it was dirty with many animals (mosquitoes, ants, at least 2 kinds of beetles...) and dunno why they have there soap and shampoo dispenser when there's nothing inside. (Seems they are using that) Also some garbage left there from other guests probably. Next thing is if they want guest to take shoes down then it should be really clean and not like i experienced leaving with more dirty feets than i arrived there... Also as you can see on the pic, they probably never clean their fans, so disgusting full of dust. And their WiFi didn't worked for me. In your bookings you have written to leave until 12 but conditions in the accommodation are different, it's 11:45. Building very hot inside, only lucky they have AC in the room. Staff looks okay and they have small kitchen downstairs where you can take water. And like a living room upstairs. Just sorry because after my experience I don't want to come back, found better places around in Phuket town.

    Location is easy drop off from airport bus route. All facilities were of very high standards. The host Anna is super at offering you the best experience in phuket and at arranging all tours and trips in the region.

  • 4/5 Tal B. 11 months ago on Google
    Recommend, especially for travelers on a budget! The staff was amazing, they were extremely helpful with restaurant recommendations, things to do, and finding transportation to the airport (great English). II paid only 280 baht (in mid April) as a walk for the mixed dorm room and they let me stay an extra 2 nights at the last minute. Overall very clean, showers were large enough to also properly get dressed in them. Bed in mixed dorm was comfortable, large locker for my stuff, there was even a small fridge and small area to sit and relax. Overall I felt it was very safe - needed a key to get in hostel and a key to get in room. The AC in the room worked wonderful, but the rest of the hostel was extremely hot, especially in the bathroom (you would shower and then get out sweaty).

  • 5/5 Gabriela A. 2 years ago on Google
    Anna, management, is super kindly, friendly and lovely. She helped me much, with all I needed it, always with respect and gentleness. The hostel is very good, but bathrooms are wonderful, the best bathroom in all Thailand, rooms super comfortable. It's a nice place in a good position in old town, a beauty city of Phuket!! Thanks for everything Anna!!

  • 4/5 Eimantas B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place if all you want is sleep. Old town near busy street but no traffic noise in sleeping rooms.

  • 5/5 Anjali S. 4 years ago on Google
    This hostel got my heart. By far the the best hostel i experienced. Their staff are very friendly. Rooms and beds are pretty much bigger. Infrastructure is amazing. Most importantly their washroom and shower are very much clean. Do visit.

  • 5/5 Nathan 5 years ago on Google
    Danny at the front desk is great. Very friendly and helpful guy. The hostel upstairs is very nice in the common area and bathroom. But the hostel is on a busy (though central) street, and the street-side rooms have constant loud traffic throughout the night (wood shutters would help), the walls are thin, and the doors slam in the morning. For the price though, it can’t be beat. A pretty spacious room private room for just THB480.

  • 5/5 Ken O. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing place! Private room was very nice and clean, AC worked great. Great common area for chillin. And the facilities were incredibly clean. Good location and price is excellent. Reception helps with anything you need to know and make you feel right at home. I would highly recommend this place and 100% go back.

  • 5/5 David B. 5 years ago on Google
    This is a very nice place to stay in, the most friendly owner with a lot of knowledge to help you with basically everything. Travel routes, or where is the next good shopping mall. Just everything. The rooms were clean and had A/C. Nice bathrooms. It’s just not exactly near to the beach or central, but he can organize you motorbikes for a good price.

  • 5/5 Manon C. 4 years ago on Google
    I really appreciate my stay at the sunny hostel. The place is really nice, clean and well located. The staff is welcoming and helpful. We really want to thanks Dan who was very kind and a good help. We highly recommend this hostel.

  • 5/5 Дмитрий �. 2 years ago on Google
    The receptionist of the hostel is thai but speaks English so fluently. She even helped me to get best ticket for the bus to Bangkok. Plus there are a lot foreigners staying there who doesn’t bother you but if you are looking to make some friends it could be suitable atmosphere there. And general design is so cool and comfy. Reminds me European style. Liked it a lot ❤️

  • 2/5 Janosh V. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfriendly staff. We arrived 7min before checkin and that seemed to be a problem. Rooms where ok. Shared bathroom weren’t kept well. Bad value for the price in my opinion.

    The best hostel in town..!! Anna the Receptionist She is very good lady & Much helpful on Tourist places..Mostly Recommended

  • 5/5 Rohan C. 2 years ago on Google
    The hostel is clean, cute, comfortable, has great air conditioning, is well located (heart of Phuket Town, few min walk from tons of restaurants, 7-Eleven, and the Phuket Airport bus that costs only 100 Baht), and well-maintained. But Anna, the hostel host, really made the stay amazing for me. Just one night, and she did all of the following: before I arrived, booked me a Phi Phi Islands tour that was much cheaper than online options; helped me change currency without fees when I lost my debit card; bought and brought me dinner when I was in a rush; and helped me find transportation much cheaper than a taxi when the airport bus didn't run as late as usual. And all of this in addition to being super communicative and friendly in general! The hostel is great, but Anna in particular is a gem. I was in and out quickly, but she has also helped foster connection among hostel guests, even as COVID makes it all tougher. Highly recommended for a stay in Phuket of any length!

  • 4/5 Eliz R. 1 year ago on Google
    Ann was a wonderful host and gave advice about local area We paid for a private room for 2 nights as a walk in. We even stayed a 3rd night. Shared bathroom/showers at least 3 of each for each gender on the floor we were on. Good aircon.

👍👍 Oh well, it's one of my favourite hostel in Phuket town. When I booked and read the review from previous guest I just lower my expectations as possible. But when I get there I found that the staff and the place is not that bad. Especially the receptionist they are helpful, but yeah the other people...
